Editing Viola (plant) (section)

===History===
First formally described by [[Carl Linnaeus]] in 1753{{sfn|Linnaeus|1753}} with 19 species, the genus ''Viola'' bears his [[botanical authority]], L.{{sfn|WFO|2019}} When [[Antoine Laurent de Jussieu|Jussieu]] established the hierarchical system of families (1789), he placed Viola in the [[Cisti]] (rock roses),{{sfn|Jussieu|1789}} though by 1811 he suggested Viola be separated from these.{{sfn|Lindley|1853}} However, in 1802 [[Batsch]] had already established a separate family, which he called Violariae based on Viola as the [[type genus]], with seven other genera.{{sfn|Batsch|1802}}{{sfn|IPNI|2020}} Although Violariae continued to be used by some authors, such as [[Bentham and Hooker]] in 1862 (as Violarieae),{{sfn|Bentham|Hooker|1862}} most authors adopted the alternative name Violaceae, first proposed by [[de Lamarck]] and [[de Candolle]] in 1805,{{sfn|de Lamarck|de Candolle|1815}} and [[Frédéric Charles Jean Gingins de la Sarraz|Gingins]] (1823){{sfn|Gingins|1823}} and [[Augustin Saint-Hilaire|Saint-Hilaire]] (1824).{{sfn|Saint-Hilaire|1824}} However de Candolle also used Violarieae in his 1824 ''Prodromus''.{{sfn|Candolle|1824}}
